BACKGROUND:Intracerebral administration of selective drugsviathe carotid artery is currently one of the effective methods to enhance the drug concentration in the brain and reduce the influence of drugs on other system functions. OBJECTIVE:To establish the muscle-relaxation rabbit models by infusing propofol continuously in the internal carotid artery and analyze the variations of propofol concentration. METHODS: The muscle-relaxation rabbit models were established by continuously infusing propofol at a constant speedviacatheterization in the internal carotid artery. The pharmacokinetic characteristics could be analyzed by the methods of obtaining arterial and venous blood on both sides of neck and samples of brain tissue on both sides in different points, detecting drug concentration using high pressure liquid assay, and then mathematicaly conversing the resulting data for fitting processing and statistical regression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The method of determining the concentration of propofol using high pressure liquid assay is feasible, stable and reliable. Through investigating the concentration of propofol infused via the carotid artery at different time points, we discovered that the growth rate distribution of propofol concentration and data distribution are in log-normal distribution profile which belong to non-exponential kinetics model,i.e., modified log-normal distribution model,??)(ln x μ 2 1 fx ()=e 2σ2 , whereσ is the range of drug concentration growth indicating stability xk 2πσ of concentration changes, which is an integrated variable related to various factors, such as brain tissue uptake of drugs and brain circulation. The pharmacokinetic model of continuously infusing propofol in the internal carotid artery belongs to log-normal distribution function, i.e., a non-exponential function kinetics model. The brain concentration variations on both sides changing over time folow log-normal distribution function law.

OBJECTIVETo observe the analgesic effect and safety of acupuncture-anesthetic composite anesthesia (AACA) in hysteroscopic surgery.

METHODSTotally 93 patients undergoing hysteroscopic surgery were randomly assigned to the intravenous anesthesia group (A group, 30 cases), the AACA group (B group, 32 cases), and the acupuncture combined with intravenous anesthesia group (C group, 31 cases). Patients in Group A were anesthetized by sufentanil combined propofol. Those in Group B were anesthetized by sufentanil combined acupuncture. Those in Group C were anesthetized by sufentanil, propofol combined acupuncture. Yinlian and Ququan (LR8) were needled for patients in Group B and C. The peri-operative mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (SpO2), the surgical time, the recovery time, the sufentanil and propofol dosages, adverse anesthesia reactions were observed. Meanwhile, the OAA/S score, Ramsay sedation score, and Visual Analogue Score (VAS) were also measured.

RESULTSCompared with Group A and C, patients in Group B were awake, with obvious increased OAA/S score (P < 0.01). Ramsay sedation score was significantly lower (P < 0.01).The MAP and HR were elevated (P < 0.05). The patient case of SpO2 less than 85% during the operation decreased (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative dizziness was reduced (P < 0.05). Compared with Group A, the propofol consumption decreased in Group C (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the operation time, the sufentanil dosage, VAS score, the incidence of postoperative nause- a and vomiting among the three groups (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe patients were awake in AACA. The intraoperative sedation was better than that obtained by intravenous anesthesia. But the analgesic effect was similar to that obtained by intravenous anesthesia.

Objective: To explore the value of dual energy CT lung perfusion imaging (DEPI) for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) in comparison with CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA). Methods: There were 49 patients with suspected PE received DEPI scanning and 19 with CTPA conifrmed diagnosis were enrolled in this study. CTPA image was obtained by 80 kv data, and DEPI image was obtained by PBV software. The location, type of PE in CTPA image, and the location, shape of perfusion defect in DEPI were observed and compared by segment basis. The correlation and agreement of CTPA and DEPI for diagnosing PE were calculated and the un-agreement was analyzed. Results: A total of 380 segments were included for analysis. CTPA detected 162 segments of PE and DEPI detected 155 segments of perfusion defect or reduction, partial PE were mainly presented by perfusion defects as speckles, patches or without perfusion defect, and complete PE were mainly showed segmental or sub-segmental perfusion defects. CTPA and DEPI were correlated for PE diagnosis (χ2=305.5,P=0.000), the diagnostic agreement was 83.42% and KAPPA value was 0.659. Conclusion: The perfusion defect in DEPI is related to the degree and type of PE presented in CTPA, their combination is helpful for diagnosing PE.

BACKGROUND:Despite tissue repair with a kind of stem cels has achieved great outcomes, but the combination of two or more kinds of stem cels to construct tissue-engineered bone is stil rare.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of tissue-engineered bone constructed based on combining adipose-derived stem cels with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels and alogenic bone in rabbit posterior intertransverse lumbar interbody fusion models.
METHODS:Seventy-five New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into five groups. L5,6 interbody fusion models were made in each group. Then, these five groups were respectively treated as folows (1) group A: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/alograft iliac bone with adipose-derived stem cels; (2) group B: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/alograft iliac bone with normal saline; (3) group C: alograft iliac bone with adipose-derived stem cels; (4) group D: alograft iliac bone with normal saline; group E: autologous iliac bone alone. Each group was detected by PET/CT to contrast the standard uptake value at 1, 3, 5 weeks postoperatively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: PET/CT images showed varying degrees of bone fusion and bone metabolism enhancement in the five groups. With time, the standard uptake value was increased in each group, and except the group D, the standard uptake value was higher in al the groups at 3, 5 weeks than at 1 week (P < 0.05). There was no difference in the standard uptake value of al the five groups at weeks 3 and 5 after operation (P > 0.05). The standard uptake value of the group A was better than that in the group B and group E (P < 0.05). Taken together, the combination of adipose-derived stem cels and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels for rapid production of tissue-engineered bone has good osteogenesis and vascularization.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of trans-ulner or trans-radial approach to coronary revaseularization with titanium-nitride-oxide-eoated stent (TITAN2). Methods 31 patients,who were planed to receive coronary revaseularization,were selected into this study. All patients with coronary revascularization were either by trans-ulner or by trans-radial approach. The pass-through rate of stent, early thrombosis in stent and MACE at followup were recorded for TITAN2. Results 46 lesions with stenosis > 75% with coronary angiograpby in 31 patients successfully underwent coronary revaseularization with TITAN2. One stent didn't go through the lesion in RCA. The pass-through rate of stent was 97.8%. Remaining stenesis ,stent unglues,endarterium laceration ,early thrombosis in stent and coronary rupture were not discovered after stent deployment. MACE was 0 at 1-5 month follow-up. Conclusion Confirmed good efficacy in coronary revascularization with TITAN2 is observed.
